The American Dental Association's Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT) is used to record and report dental procedures.

Accurate recording and reporting dental treatment is supported by a set of codes that have a consistent format and are at the appropriate level of specificity to adequately encompass commonly accepted dental procedures.

1 In some cases, Delta Dental National Policies, specific group or individual contract provisions, limitations, and exclusions take precedence over processing policies. Because certain contractual items (i.e., time limits, frequency of procedure, age limits, etc.) can vary among groups, they are not all listed with their associated procedure codes.
